Street Fashion at The Australian Centre for Photography

Thursday the 29th was a big day for photography for me. I spent my first full day at my new studio, 'The Photo Studio ' in Sydney. This is my new base where I will be producing my commercial fashion photography. I spent most of the day working on a couple of Editorial submissions that are looking great.

Blundstone Boots ACP

In the evening I headed off to the Australian Centre for Photography in Paddington for the opening of the new series of exhibitions, Batteries Not Included | Angry Black Snake | Big Butch Billboard. Three great shows well worth stopping by to check out. I love art openings and I love the hip cool gallery openings in particular as you can always be certain of seeing some great fashion forward art lovers, or are they just Art Students!

Brown Leather Boots

Really it doesn't matter who they are the fashion is always great. It looks like light summer boots are all the range along with the old student fav, the Aussie Blundstone work boot. You can wear them anywhere, well at least you can if you are a chic.

Lederhausen Boots & Beer

I knew it was going to be a stylish opening from some of the people I saw making there way up Oxford Street towards the gallery from the bus on my there. Including, I kid you not, the lovely girl in the brown lace up boots photographed was one of those spotted on my way.

Unfortunately although I was in the studio all day I only had my tiny Canon IXUS 330 (circa 2002) to shoot with so apologies for the rather raw rough and ready quality of the shots.

Chanel?!















I have to admit that the Chanel powder doesn't belong to me..
It's Nesli's precious property ; ) She was in charge of the "prop" hehe
We both thought of taking more or less a similar picture like the one from Michael Oat..

Unlike the powder..the bags aren't Chanel..
But they look really lovely together, don't you think so?

Ok, enough confessions for today.. : )

(cardigan - zara, scarf - h&m, blazer - expressions)

Vogue outside and vague on the inside











At the beginning of our blog I posted about these platform gladiator heels I finally bought at the sales. They are the highest shoes I have now with 12 cm heels (I think that's about 4.7 inches). Walking is pretty comfortable, though...

I made the grey nail polish myself, mixing black and white. I often create shades by myself because it's a cheap way to try different things. :)

We didn't post many pictures of ourselves recently but want to do this more often.
Hope you enjoy it!

Blazer & bag: vintage
Platform gladiator heels: Zara

Music & Coffee in the morning



Qu'est-ce qu'on va faire de toi ?
Qu'est-ce que t'as dans la tête ?
De quoi as-tu envie ?
De quoi as-tu besoin ?

De romances nerveuses...

Picture: We heart it

Monday's Inspiration







Czech model Hana Soukupova wearing her open toe patent leather ankle boots more than once. I love how she dressed them up or down.

Recently I saw a pair at Zara but didn't buy them because I think they're impractical. You can't wear them when it's cold or rainy without tights and I personally think that they look better with more skin shown. You see how I try to be sensible about yet another shoe purchase?! We'll see if I can resist temptation or get me a pair of these HOT booties!

The escape



Most of my accessories aren't too cute or too girly, but I have to admit that I LOVE interesting charms. My favourites are keys in all shapes and bird cages. Don't know where my fascination with bird cages comes from and what this says about me, but at least my birds aren't caged... :)



Small pendant necklace: Claire's
Long pendant necklace: H&M



By the way, can anyone of our Turkish readers guess which book this is?

Vogue Spain



Vogue Spain January 09
I drool over the bag & ring.
When I look at this picture I can't wait for spring any longer..
Although I really heart winter and snow..
But the grey clouds, rain and cold weather make it almost impossible to take
outfit-pictures..
Anyways, blogging has definitely an affect on me ; )
